Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. (1 Timothy 4:12 NIV)
We didn't have to deal with half of the things our children face. I've heard some people say that they don't know if they could survive some of the darts being thrown at our children. The enemy plots and schemes using insecurity and instability against them. HIV/AIDS, homicides, absent parents, drug abuse, perverted lust and runaway social media have tried to take them out, But thanks be to God who has caused them to triumph IN SPITE OF!!! Witnessing the city wide Youth and Young Adult revival this year, fittingly themed "City On Our Knees"; I watched some of the 'youngins' setting an example for the believers and for that I am encouraged that the scripture in 1 Timothy has taken root.
Thank you Lord for not letting Your word return void! There is a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that is declaring the praises of Him who called them out of darkness into His wonderful light. We pray that You continue to keep our children in the safety of Your arms as they strive to live according to Your will and be examples in this world. In Jesus name, Amen!
